If management have written it off, I'm not going to expect any windfall - even a small one. It does push back the point at which EAAS can be said to be "out of the woods" as central overheads and administration costs were still taking a big chunk out of their margin in FY24
The lack of an auditors sign-off here is really a non-issue relating to historic numbers (but which flow into FY operating profits). It also puts the delay into perspective and, at least on my part, my question has been answered.
Regarding adjustments, I'm fine with the £5.5m odd restructuring costs but not yet on board with the share based payments of £1.6m - is this all related to the sale of EMD?
So maybe some backward looking questions but from a valuation perspective, it's all about current performance and future growth. As long as they have the cashflow coming in to keep the lights on (sorry, couldn't resist) we're just looking at a series of income streams coming back to EAAS as all the financing is done through NWG and Redaptive. These are where questions should be directed and where the value will come.
We'll see how the presentation goes tomorrow but I think the market will be back in positive territory soon having had a little more time to go through the numbers. And yes, we'll also get an update from Simon at some point.
